Definitions

• This invention relates to pharmaceutical ophthalmic compositions comprising active ingredient(s) such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) or combinations and processes for making such compositions and the use of these compositions in patient populations including pediatric populations.
• active ingredient(s) such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI)
• CAI carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
• ophthalmic compounds are solids. Those solids which are soluble in ophthalmic carriers or vehicles present little or no difficulty when preparing a composition for ophthalmic use. However, those solids which are insoluble in ophthalmic carriers must be formulated as compositions such as suspensions or emulsion in order to obtain a proper delivery system. Moreover, forms of useful ophthalmic compounds which are insoluble in ophthalmic carriers are often found desirable in order to prolong the particular therapeutic action of the compound.
• a pharmaceutically acceptable ophthalmic composition possesses certain essential characteristics, among which are: (1) the dispersed or suspended material should not settle too rapidly from the carrier' to be available in the required concentration in the carrier for effective administration to the eye of the patient; (2) the particles of dispersed or suspended material which do finally settle to the bottom of the vessel holding the composition must not form an intractable hard cake but should be readily re-dispersed into a uniform composition when the vessel is shaken; (3) the particles size of the- dispersed materials should be fine enough to avoid any irritation to the eye.
• Crystallization and agglomeration of active ingredients during preparation as well as during storage Crystallization or agglomeration of active leads to non-uniformity of dose, difficulty of administration, irritation to eye due to large drug particles and/ or any ocular adverse effect due to high drug concentration or failure of treatment due to low drug concentration.
• Another reason for crystallization is change in pH due to addition of salts, acids or bases.
• the composition is left standing for a long time, hence secondary particles are formed due to partial agglomeration caused by mutual adhesion of suspended particles, or a hard deposit layer (caking) on the bottom surface of a container; or may have a lowered pH.
• Such formation of secondary particles or caking causes problems in terms of particle size and re-dispersibility (hereinafter secondary particles and caking are sometimes integrally referred to as agglomerates). It has been found that the caking is common problem due to unequal particle size distribution. The fine particles take the void space in-between the large particles and form strong caking.
